But privately, Republicans admit, only days away from the 9/11 anniversary and weeks before midterm elects, their primary goal, to remind voters Republicans are strong on national security, while Democrats are weak.

There's not a real appetite for that, as witnessed by the fact that the President's Social Security plan looks like it's going nowhere right now, especially after considering the fact that the midterm elects are coming up next year, and members of Congress are going to have to face the voters.

Furthermore, from minds so critical of Scripture we would expect at least as critical an analysis of such deeply anthropomorphic concepts as a God who "elects," or a God who grants one group a "special revelation."

AB 1017 removes the word "elects" in current law and instead provides that if the kit is not tested within six months of being obtained, the law enforcement agency must inform the victim either orally or in writing of this fact.
